[SOLVED] KDE: window focus transfer options

Hi,
There's a way of using Emacs and LaTeX (AUCTeX): Emacs and Okular work in a team. LaTeX generates pdf; C-c C-v gets you to the same line of text in Okular holding the generated pdf (forward search). Okular window gets focus, which is nice and proper. In Okular you can Shift-click on any line and get to the same line in Emacs (inverse search). No clear transmission of focus this time -- but only in KDE, as it turned out.
In LXDE everything works just as it should, to my great surprise: Emacs window gets focus and pops on top of the Okular window if necessary. Are there some window behavior options in KDE which I could try?

KDE Window Focus Problem

In KDE, when I'm focused on a window in foreground and I click on the contents of a window in the background the focus of the window changes, but the window that was in the foreground does not go behind the window that I just clicked on.
http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/2745 … cusli7.png
In that picture, I was focused on the Pidgin window and I clicked on this text box of Firefox and the Pidgin window in the foreground.
The only way to place that window in the background is to click the title bar on top of Firefox, then it behaves normally. By the way, I'm running KDE3.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

It's been quite some time since I've used KDE, but isn't there some kind of "raise on focus" setting that would raise newly focused windows? I'm certain this setting exists for focus-follows-mouse but I don't remember if it applies to click-to-focus.

Thunderbird does not appear as an option under applications to transfer via Windows Easy transfer

Tried to use Windows easy transfer. The instructions show Thunderbird under applications. This is not an option on my display under admin

If you want to transfer your profile to a new computer follow these instructions.

[solved] org.freedesktop.UPower no reply stalls KDE windows

Edit4: a fixed libusbx package has been released.
Edit3: I reported it https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36418 but meanwhile, people suffering from this can systemctl restart upower and then do run nohup strace -o /dev/null -p $(pidof upowerd) it makes the problem disappear...
Edit2: the problem is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=985484
Edit: I thought I solved it but a couple dock-undock operations brings back the problem:
qdbus --system org.freedesktop.UPower
Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
This causes every KDE window to appear after a 25 second wait cos apparently every new KDE window (even file uploads from Chrome) apparently needs to talk to upower and they wait 25 seconds for a timeout.
If I do a systemctl restart upower, then it gets fixed. There's nothing relevant in dmesg, journalctl, xsession-errors.

Thank you very much for posting this workaround. This bug has been affecting me as well, but now at least I can be productive while we wait for upstream to fix it.

Windows Easy transfer , ERROR message when trying to copy settings to Win 8 PC

I have a new hp-TouchSmart Envy 23. It has 2TB drive.
I want to use Windows Easy Transfer to move all my settings and data from the Windows 7 machine to the new hp-TouchSmart (my older PC is hp desktop is model # m9177c and has Win 7 OS) .
I have used easy transfer many times and I am reasonably experienced user .
I just cannot transfer my settings and data to my new PC. I have therefore copies all my data to the hp-TouchSmart . However I need to use Windows easy transfer to move all my settings. I have a very large number of settings , macros and much else that would take a very large amount of time to re-type.
I get an ERROR message when I want to transfer my settings. It says I don’t have enough disk space. The file I want to transfer is only 10.5 GB (after I removed all my data). The new machine has 2TB and yet I keep getting this error.
I have tried every possible way of transferring the settings , including : external drive; flash drive; direct wire ; easy transfer cable etc. I keep getting the same ERR message .
I am sure Easy transfer must allow transfer from Win 7 to Win 8. BUT HOW?
PLEASE do help. I would really appreciate very much .
THANK YOU
Adam

This thread may be useful.
Windows Easy Transfer will transfer from one drive to the other to mirror the original drive. What I suspect is happening is that the program is grabbing the D drive (recovery partition on most systems) and trying to transfer it to the new system which should also have a D drive. If that is happening,t hen that error will be thrown.
Try using the advanced options and view the report to see what exactly is happening and triggering the message.
Let me know what happens.
The document in the thread is for a previous version of Windows, but you can search for Easy Transfer Reports from the Start screen in Windows 8.

Problem with new firefox tabs and window focus

Here's a problem that I've had for ages - sometimes it annoys me, other times I can live with it. Right now it's really p***ing me off. :x
I have selected 'a new tab in the most recent window' under FF's Preferences->Tabs->Open links from other applications in:, so as an example, if I click on a URL in a mail in Thunderbird, Firefox opens it in a new tab. However, window focus stays on Thunderbird. I run both of them full screen, so although I'm looking at the web page in Firefox, anything I do on the keyboards affects Thunderbird. It affects URLs opened from other apps too e.g. if I open a terminal and do
firefox www.archlinux.org
focus stays on the terminal window. The only exception is when firefox is not already running - in that case, firefox launches with focus.
DE is xfce4, and the system is completely up to date.
I've done some googling, and AFAICS, nobody else seems to have this problem. Any ideas, anyone?
TIA.

Thanks MAC!EK - definitely a useful add-on, but it still doesn't solve my problem. In Tab Mix Plus Options, I have the following selected:
Links -> Open links from other applications in: New tab
Events-> Tab Focus -> Focus/Select tabs that open from: <all>
However, the behaviour is as before i.e. I click a URL in Thunderbird, it opens in a new tab in Firefox, but window focus stays on Thunderbird. Within Firefox, the newly-opened tab is selected or focussed, but Firefox itself is not.
Anyway, thanks again. I think I need to keep looking.

Windows Easy Transfer (WET) Issues with External Hard Drive - "Can't read from the source file or disk"

I work for Office Depot, in the tech department. Basically, one of our associates was supposed to do a data backup, and re-install Windows 7, then transfer the files back. He used Windows Easy Transfer and compacted everything into a 163 GB file.
Now comes the hard part. When we try to put it back on his computer ((drag-and-drop to the desktop) which has been wiped back to factory settings using the recovery partition), it stops at 79.5 GB remaining (you know how it doesn't give you a % of completion,
it just shows how many GB are remaining) and then says "Can't read from the source file or disk" and gives you an option to try again, or cancel. It gets hung up on the same point each time.
Normally, this wouldn't be a huge issue, but the contents on the drive are his wife's architect blueprints and interior design stuff, along with wedding photos, etc, which are the only copies they have. On top of those, they have court documents and other
important files that we are unable to access now.
I wasn't involved with this transfer, so I'm trying to clean up the mess as best I can. I remembered that the customer's wife was Russian, and had some files typed with a Russian keyboard, so on and so forth. I wonder if that's the issue? If not, I really
have no idea how to manually extract things from a ".mig" file, or how to diagnose what area is potentially corrupted.
In light of this situation, we tried using "Recuva" to recover the files post-wipe, but everything was corrupted or unable to be opened, and it also extracted and recovered all of the "useless" photos, such as the skype logos, up and
down arrows for browsers, etc (it was 160,000+ photos).
Trying to avoid a potential lawsuit, unhappy customer, and costing the company lots of money to see if professionals can get into this external hard drive.
Other relevant information:
We used a Toshiba 500 GB (465 GB) external hard drive.
Customer's computer is an HP Pavilion P6000 Series (Model No. p6520y) running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.
Any other information that is needed can be provided, thanks in advance, and hopefully we can find a solution to this issue quickly!
-John

I think there's a lack of understanding somewhere.
"If you even can't start the process, please unplug it from your new PC. Then head back to your new computer and plug
the external drive back in to your new computer. "
Unplug from new, head back to new, plug it back in? That doesn't make much sense! Haha.
I knew what you meant though, somewhat. When I search through the drives after clicking yes (Has windows easy transfer
already saved your files blah blah blah) I click on the transfer file and it says "Windows Easy Transfer could not open the file".
Rather than drag-and-drop the file to the desktop, I now tried to double-click on the file itself while it was plugged
into the computer. It opened, and it started transferring until it was about 70% completed, and then an error popped up saying "WET can't open the easy transfer file, make sure your USB device is plugged in or check your internet connection".
I checked, and the USB hard drive's light wasn't on. Now, I unplug it and plug it back in, and the light comes back on,
so I click Retry, and it resets the bar back to nothing and says "Transfer time: 1 minute".
Rather than continue trying, I clicked "Cancel" instead of Retry, and it says "Your transfer did not complete successfully."
It says to click "view report" for more information, but there's no "view report button".
At the moment, I am scanning the External Drive for bad sectors using the check disk tool in properties. It's frozen
at "0 USN bytes processed".

Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

I somewhat agree with you.
Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
"7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines. Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!

"Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer your files and settings." Why?

I saved my files and settings from a previous installation of windows 7 to an external hard drive using windows easy transfer. Now when I try to transfer those files and setting to my new installation I get the following message:
Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer your files and settings.
The message pops up only a few seconds after the transfer begins.
Why is this?! I need those files and windows has screwed me. Everything is basically the same as before I reinstalled. Same computer, same windows 7 installation just recovered to factory settings. Same system language as before. BTW I'm on a Toshiba L505 laptop
running Windows 7 Home Premium.
I have tried all the usual suspects such as a clean boot and uninstalling my antivirus to rule out third party interference. I have more than enough space on both my computer and on the external hard drive. I have tried only transferring a user account a
few MBs large. I have reinstalled the OS twice just in case something went wrong there. I have clicked on the .MIG file directly. All lead to the same error message.The transfer file seems to be intact and not currupt
Is there another software other than WET that can use the same transfer file that WET created to restore my files? Please help me solve this if you can or at least point me in the right direction because right now I'm clueless. I can't emphasize how important
those files are to me. I've searched for solutions on several forums and it seems that this is a problem people have been having for years now and windows hasn't provided an answer yet.
An interesting note, When I reboot the laptop after trying to do the transfer, a new user account appears at startup alongside the one I normally use. This new user account has the same unique name of the user account I am trying to restore but that's where
the similarity ends. All the settings for this account are default settings and empty folders. What does this mean?

Hi Vincent, like I said I tried all of that already and it failed. Thanks a lot for trying to help though. Imperfect1, so sorry I took so long to reply. No that's not the case. I was trying to restore from x86 to x86.
Well, I finally gave up. I've scoured the internet for a solution. You'll probably find duplicates of this post all over. This has been a known software problem with Windows Easy Transfer for years and Microsoft has done nothing to fix it or warn users of
the risks. Shameful!
Anyway, I managed to recover my files with this life saver of a program here>
http://www.visser.com.au/blog/migrecover-for-microsofts-windows-easy-transfer/
MigRecover Utility for Microsoft's Windows Easy Transfer.
I can't express how grateful I am to the developer and the host for the download. You guys are the most awesomest people ever. Cheers.
Here's how you modify the syntax in commmand prompt if you used a password to protect the mig file in WET>
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/68910c1a-3c4b-47af-bb22-0e7ec6f2054f/
Just remember to change the source drive letter in "C:\SaveData.MIG" to the actual drive it's stored on if your MIG file is on an external drive like mine was; whether it's E:, F:, G: or whatever.
Good luck to anyone with the same issue who stumbles upon this post. I hope it helps you as it did me.

ITunes manually added artwork is missing after Windows Easy Transfer from XP to Windows-7. Please help!

After a Windows Easy Transfer from a Windows XP pc to a new Windows-7 pc, all the iTunes artwork that I had previously manually added is now missing. I estimate 25-30% of my CDs needed manual intervention to add artwork. Some of these were album covers I found on the web but many are photos that I took and cropped but have not retained. I have nearly 20,000 songs. Every one had artwork on my XP machine. Now on Windows-7 it appears to be missing. I spent many patient hours to get artwork in place for all my music and don't want to loose it or have to repeat the process. Please help! Many thanks for any contributions.

Firefox 3.6.6 Not Displaying Gmail Contacts & Calendar and at least 1 other website correctly after using Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
In migrating from an XP PC to a new Win 7 PC, I downloaded Firefox to the new PC and it worked fine - got my Gmail contacts, calendar, etc. Later I used Micros Soft's Windows Easy Transfer to move data, profiles, etc to the new PC. Then could log onto Gmail but it would not show Contacts or Calendar. I then uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it - nohelp, then I did a system to Restore to before I did the Windows Easy Transfer - no help, then I manually moved my Firefox Profile from the XP machine - no help. BTW at least one other website does not display correctly: http://www.hollandamerica.com/main/Main.action. NOTE - through all this Internet Explorer has shown these sites correctly.

Problem with onBlur="window.focus()"

Hi,
inside the body tag of a popup widow i have used onBlur="window.focus()" and it is working fine i.e. when i tried to click on parent window the focus transfers back to popup window but i tried this by clicking like hundred times it fails i.e. the focus transfers to parent window.
Does this function depends on number of click.
manish

Hi,
No the problem is still there and it is not related to no of clicks because today for the just first time it failed.
U have written
"except maybe you can use onBlur and onFocus to set a variable to indicate the state and use setInterval to constantly check that every couple seconds as a backup to push it forward."
i have not used this setInterval. ok let me tell u how i have used.
In the parent page when it popups a window i have set a flag(global var.) to true and in the body tag (of parent itself) i used "onFocus="javascript:chkChildWin()""
<script language="Javascript" >
function chkChildWin()
if(childFlag)
cal_setFocus()// method to set the focus to popupwindow
</script>and inside the popup window body tag i used
onBlur="window.focus()"
when user selects some thing from popup window or it closes the popup window then variable is reset to false. and as it is clear from the above mentioned code that parent window checks this flag on its focus method.
sometimes it work fine and sometimes it does not.
I don't know how to solve a problem which is not consistent, i mean this occurs randomly.
plz help me out

Can't send emails after migration from Vista PC to W7 PC. Tried Mozbackup and Windows Easy Transfer. Settings have transferred ok, it just won't send emails.

I recently migrated my Tbird from a Vista PC to a W7 PC using Mozbackup. Transfer was fine with all the settings transferred apparently correctly. But now I can receive emails but not send them. Sent emails show in 'Sent Items' but are not received the other end. Also tried the migration using the Beta 1 version of Mozbackup and also Windows Easy Transfer with the same result. IMAP and POP3 accounts are both affected. Neither can send emails. I get no error messages nor any bounceback.
Found on one forum that AVG can block outgoing emails so altered the AVG settings which seemed to solve the problem. The next morning the problem was back. I uninstalled AVG completely but it made no difference. I do have MicroSoft Sec Essentials but the problem was there before that was installed.
Using the BT Home Hub 5 on BT Infinity broadband. It can't be the router though as the old PC was sending emails fine. Although I did have the suspect AVG settings, removing it has not solved the problem.
The outgoing email settings seem to be fine. Any thoughts?

Acrobat looses windows focus after showing a wxWidgets modal dialog

Here's a code sample:
     AVWindow dlgWindow = AVWindowNewFromPlatformThing(AVWLmodal, NULL, NULL, gExtensionID, dlg->GetHWND());
    AVAppBeginModal(dlgWindow);
    dlg->ShowModal();                                   // dlg is a wxDialog*
    AVWindowDestroy(dlgWindow);
    AVAppEndModal();
This works in so far as the wxWidgets window is modal with respect to Acrobat, however when we do AVAppEndModal Acrobat does not get the windows focus back. In fact some other open application gets it instead, which is a problem for the end user.
If I take away the Begin and End, I do not get the focus problem, however I do not get the modal nature either.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks
Simon

Hi,
I see this too.
The only workaround I found is to use Windows api to find the Acrobat window and switch back to it maually. There is a flicker, but at least the user is back in his original window.
I can confirm this behaviour on Wndows XP, Vista, and 7 in Acrobat 8, Acrobat 9 and Acrobat 10.
Simple code that works for me:
void SetWinFocusBackToAA()
    #ifdef WIN_PLATFORM
        if (gHWND) SetForegroundWindow(gHWND); //AA 8 MDI
        else
            HWND AAhwnd = FindWindow(L"AcrobatSDIWindow", NULL);
            if (AAhwnd) SetForegroundWindow(AAhwnd);
    #endif
I do not see such a problem on Mac OS X.
I suspect the problem lies in setting correct parent for the modal window, but I have not been able to find one (for some years now).
Also this does not happen when the modal wx dialog is a child of another wx windows (a modeless window).
